TEACHING

piano music

Krishna is an accomplished classical pianist and dedicated music educator with nearly two decades of experience guiding students along their musical journeys. Based in Melbourne, she offers comprehensive piano instruction tailored for every stage of learning—from introducing curious five-year-olds to the joy of music, to coaching advanced musicians preparing for diploma and professional examinations.

Central to Krishna’s pedagogical philosophy is the belief that music education should be as individual as the student. She takes a personalized, heart-centered approach to every lesson, building a strong rapport with her students to help them discover their own unique musical voice.

As a specialist in teaching the Taubman Approach, Krishna equips students with a physical technique that is both powerful and healthy. By learning to play in the most natural and efficient way, students protect themselves from strain and injury while discovering a rich palette of tone, dynamics, and technical freedom.

For younger learners, Krishna seamlessly blends foundational skill-building with play. Using Michiko Yurko’s world-renowned Music Mind Games alongside interactive digital learning tools, she turns music theory and sight-reading into an engaging, enjoyable experience.

Students in Krishna’s studio are offered well-rounded opportunities to grow as performers. She hosts twice-yearly student concerts in Melbourne, giving learners a warm and supportive platform to share their progress. While many students choose to play simply for the joy of music, Krishna also provides expert preparation for AMEB and ABRSM practical and theory examinations, as well as professional accompaniment services for instrumentalists preparing for auditions and recitals.

WHAT PARENTS SAY

My teens have been with Krishna for almost 3 years now.  I still remember the first lesson we had with Krishna.  She explained to the kids how our body physiology is involved when playing piano.  It helped them with their posture and generation of tone massively.

Krishna is great at teaching to the individual, from choosing a repertoire that will not only encourage the kids to engage with the music but also training them in new technique or new music form.

 

Krishna is also detail orientated, she’s instilled in the kids that music is not just about pressing the keys at the right time but also about understanding nuances of phrasing, dynamics and a flare for performance.

Biannual concerts are always a highlight where they get to show off their hard work. 

The kids also enjoy playing rhythm games and learning theory from Krishna as well. 

Can’t recommend Krishna enough!
